Strengths: It is a great drill and a fantastic hammer drill it takes what I give it and asks for more much better than my old dewalt hammer drill I really like the battery indicator lights it is a great feature I would probably add a sound prompt before the battery goes dead.

Weaknesses: After much use the chuck teeth seem to be loosing grip on driver bits and drill bits

What Would You Tell the Maker of This Tool: I would tell them to look at the chuck it sometimes comes loose and it slips on drill bits

Strengths: Just as powerful as the 18V drill driver. Lots of torque. Good Battery life.

Weaknesses: None that I've found.

What You Wanted to Know Before You Bought It: That there are not many applications that require the percussive hammer setting for the bits that go with this type of drill. A rotary hammer is WAY better when you need percussion drilling.

What Would You Tell the Maker of This Tool: Not necessary.
